Detective Sergeant Jonathan Kent, who leads Croydon's Wanted Offenders Unit said:
"We're responsible for finding and arresting people who have either been recalled to prison or those who haven't turned up at court to face the charges against them, or to avoid being sentenced.
"As you might imagine, a lot of these people don't make it easy for us to find them, but we don't give up and we'll do all we can to try and find and arrest these people and take them back to prison, or put them before the courts.
"We obviously know who all of these people are, but what we need from the public in these cases is any information as to where they might be or where they are staying. I'd urge anyone with information on the whereabouts of any of these people to get in touch."
Anyone with information about the people should contact police on 101 or call Crimestoppers, which is an independent charity and completely anonymous, on 0800 555 111.
